Pffff that Balotelli hype is making me vomit. As if he is a good, he should grow up and if Can remains to be anything in the PL has to be seen, hasn't played a single game that really matters, so that's really way to early to Judge. Especially not by one shoulder thrust...

Looks like Emre Can will be out of action for Liverpool for up to 6 weeks after getting injured playing for the German U21, I think it was a bit irresponsible of the coaches to allow him to continue to play after he was injured, pity for the lad as he was starting to show his potential and had an excellent game v Romania U21

No I don't think he's broken into their first team regularly yet, but he has come on as a sub in a few games and impressed, this injury is going to set him back and hinder any chance he had of breaking through for Liverpool or the U21's for about 6 weeks, I watched a video of Brendan Rodgers pre Aston Villa press conference and he wasn't a happy bunny with the U21 coaches for allowing Can to play on with an injury, and I suppose he has a valid point after all it's Liverpool who have to suffer the loss of a player.

Shame he got injured. I really really REALLY wish we could get him back in a couple of seasons. He seems to be developing into a complete midfielder; he is phisical, he is tecnical; he can bully players of the ball, he can tacle technically, he can dribble, he can use his head, he knows how to run between defenders, he can pass pretty well... Want him back

When Bayern learned of Liverpool’s interest they tried to persuade Can to stay put for a further 12 months on the promise he would then be brought back to the Allianz Arena.

However, a chat with Reds boss Brendan Rodgers convinced the 20-year-old to spurn Pep Guardiola’s advances and head for Merseyside instead.

“Bayern had a buyback clause but that didn’t kick in until next year,” Can confirmed.

“There were some discussions with Bayern this summer but I decided the best thing for me would be to accept the opportunity to come to Liverpool.

“Before I came here I had discussions with Brendan Rodgers and that made my mind up. From those talks I was very positive about this move.

“This whole club is very ambitious and positive about how it wants to play football. That’s the way I want to play football too.

“Liverpool believe in the same things and that’s why I came here. I want to stay here for a long time.”

“The situation was that I wasn’t getting much match time at Bayern,” Can said.

“As a young player you need games under your belt. Leverkusen wanted me and I took that chance. I’m glad I did as they gave me the chance to play.

“I went there as a young player who needed to be given the chance to play and I’m very grateful that Sami gave me that chance,” he said.

“I know Sami is a legend here and I’m thankful for everything he did for me.

“I put the effort in during training and played better than others so I got into the team.

“I was able to put into practise everything I learned during my time at Bayern when I was working with players like Schweinsteiger, Martinez and Gustavo. You pick up little things every day. They made major contributions to developing my career.”

“I’ve only played about 50 minutes in total but my initial impression about the Premier League is that there is much more tempo to the games here compared to Germany.

“The Bundesliga is more relaxed about how you play the game with more passing. English football is more about pressing from the start and that high tempo is the big difference.”
